WHAT NOVOSEVEN ® RT IS USED FOR NovoSeven ® RT is a medicine that works by activating the blood clotting system at the site of bleeding. It is similar to the activated factor VII (7) in human blood. NovoSeven ® RT is made by genetic engineering. NovoSeven ® RT is used to control bleeding episodes and to prevent excessive bleeding connected with surgery in people who have; inhibitors to clotting factors VIII (8) or IX (9), or congenital FVII deficiency, Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia which cannot be treated effectively with platelet transfusions. Your doctor may want to give you NovoSeven ® RT for another reason. Perskaitykite visą dokumentą
Product Information NovoSeven RT-pi4.doc Page 1 of 13 PRODUCT INFORMATION NOVOSEVEN RT NAME OF THE MEDICINE Recombinant Coagulation Factor VIIa (rFVIIa) eptacog alfa (activated) (bhk) CAS number: 102786-61-8 DESCRIPTION NovoSeven RT contains activated recombinant coagulation Factor VII of approximate molecular mass 50K Daltons produced by genetic engineering from baby hamster kidney cells (BHK cells). The recombinant coagulation Factor VIIa (rFVIIa) in NovoSeven RT is structurally very similar to human plasma-derived activated Factor VIIa. NovoSeven RT is supplied as a stable, sterile, freeze-dried white powder in single-use vials. After reconstitution with solvent, each vial contains rFVIIa 1.0mg/mL (50,000 IU/mL), sodium chloride 2.3mg/mL, calcium chloride dihydrate 1.5mg/mL, glycylglycine 1.3mg/mL, polysorbate 80 0.1mg/mL and mannitol 25mg/mL, sucrose 10mg/mL, methionine 0.5mg/mL and histidine 1.6mg/mL. The units of rFVIIa are international units measured with reference to the first international standard of FVIIa 89/688. These units should not be mistaken for units of other coagulation factors including FVII. PHARMACOLOGY PHARMACODYNAMICS The role of FVIIa in the induction of haemostasis includes the direct activation of FIX into FIXa and FX into FXa following the binding of FVIIa to exposed Tissue Factor, initiating the conversion of prothrombin into thrombin. Thrombin leads to the activation of platelets and Factors V and VIII at the site of injury and the formation of a haemostatic plug by converting fibrinogen into fibrin. Pharmacological doses of NovoSeven RT activates FX directly on the surface of activated platelets at the local site of injury, independently of Tissue Factor. This results in the conversion of prothrombin into large amounts of thrombin, independent of Tissue Factor. Accordingly, the pharmacodynamic effect of FVIIa gives rise to an increased local Perskaitykite visą dokumentą
